Everything is preset, so I can't do a timed wash.The dryer is ok, but it doesn't always get my clothes dry, especially towels. So, I have to check the load to see if it is actually dry before taking the clothes out. The ling trap does a poor job of catching lint. The lint gets into the air duct and gets around outside the filter. The air filter exits outside the house and the link that escapes the filter ends up outside.

Obvously, I don't like this machine!
